In 2012, Hamilton released his memoir, "The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France," co-written with author Daniel Coyle.

Hamilton's book was met with both praise and controversy, as it exposed the dark side of professional cycling and raised questions about the integrity of the sport. Despite the backlash, "The Secret Race" received critical acclaim for its candid and revealing account of the doping scandal that plagued the Tour de France and the world of professional cycling.
